Shrum, who is a widow, and Webb co-own the home in Farmington where the violence took place, according to property records.

Farmington School Superintendent Bryan Law issued this statement Friday:

“I am currently out of the area and I will not return until this weekend. I have been informed of the allegations that have been brought against one of our staff members. At this point I cannot comment as I have not had the opportunity to look into these allegations. We will begin an investigation immediately.”

Police arrived at the Hydrangea Drive home early Thursday in response to a disturbance. They heard screaming from inside, went in and found a nude, bloody Webb with Shrum in a choke hold in the upstairs bathroom, a report states.

Officers found a dead black dog in the bathtub with its throat slit. There was blood on the floor, the stairs and a wall inside the home, the report says.
